Here is the first of a "Before the Show" or my thoughts before I see a movie and it will be followed by an "After the Show" once I see said movie. This of course was written last week and was about Fast Five.
Before the Show (reviews of a movie using only the trailer)
4/29/2011
Why I think Fast Five will be the fuse to the Summer Movie Explosion.
If there were two kick-ass action stars in 2011, it would be Vin Diesel and Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson. Yeah, they’ve been around a while but unlike the aging action stars of days past like Ah-nold (who needs a shot of Metamucil in the morning) and Bruce Willis (who’s career has shown perhaps he doesn’t Die That Hard after all) they can still run from the explosions. And what can be better than having both of them in the same fraking movie?
Cars, Cops, Bad Guys, More Cars, Thievery (some committed by ex cops), Explosions, Cars Crashing and seeing both Vin and Rock in the same frame of film, is why I will enjoy this action adventure. This is the movie that will cause me to rev my 4 cylinder engine like an Indy Car driver, squeal tires as I leave the theater parking lot, and for about 5 minutes, actually consider quitting my day job and trading in my Saturn for a Nitrous-injected Honda to begin my days as a misunderstood street racer.
That’s all I need outta my $10 bucks! I don’t need this movie to impart wisdom or explain society through light and shadow…
